| The eighth sign of the zodiac is concerned with: |

| * hidden matters, secrets, taboos, magic |
| * collective unconscious, defense systems |
| * social revolution, reformation, change |
Elemental Quality
Scorpio is the fixed water sign of the zodiac. It can be likened to
still waters run deep. The relentless power of water to penetrate
and transform even the hardest rocks is an excellent metaphor through
which to understand the driving passion of the Scorpionic
personality. Just as stalactites and stalagmites cannot be prevented
from growing, once started, Scorpio cannot easily be deflected from
his or her purpose.
Spiritual Goal
To learn the meaning of selfless love.

Secret Scorpio
Inside anyone who has strong Scorpionic influences is a person who
is intractable and impenetratable, so the secret Scorpio usually
remains a secret. All Scorpios like to keep their true nature as hidden
as possible. Astrologically, a Scorpio is said to be at one or other of
three stages of evolution.
A "stage one" Scorpio exercises power through emotion and
instinct. This Scorpio is symbolized by the scorpion, an insect more
likely,
in the end, to sting itself than others.
The "stage two" exercises power through the intellect. This
Scorpio is symbolized by the golden eagle — a bird that soars higher
than
any other.
At the final stage of evolution, Scorpio exercises power through love. This Scorpio is symbolized by the dove of peace.
SCORPIO AND CANCER This can be a rewarding combination. Cancer
is the passive partner, but there’s plenty of combustible material to catch
fire from Scorpio’s abundant passions. The heat in the bedroom will help cool
off disputes that can arise between two jealous people. Scorpio offers strength
and protectiveness, which is just what clinging, insecure Cancer is looking
for. In turn, Cancer is affectionate, generous, loving, and devoted—all
that Scorpio wants. These two get along together like bread and jam.
